Swords (early levels)

hmm... i went for a lion's fang and skipped sparta when i was in your position, but lionheart has to be getting weak in comparison to what you could be using so a new sword is a good idea.

for rk - 97% of the w att will approximately match sparta in dps, and about 110% of the w att will approximately match damage per hit. ( 87 - 89 att for dps, 99 - 102 w att for dph; numbers for sword/shield combo)

What he's saying is that you'll barely make more damage with RK than with 2h Sparta. Unless you can get a good watk shield, I would make the suggestion of sticking with 2h swords, unless they're too expensive.
